Page "Gumby" Paragraph 1

Gumby's principal sidekick is Pokey, a talking orange pony.

His nemeses are the Blockheads, a pair of humanoid, red-colored figures with block-shaped heads, who wreak mischief and havoc at all times.

The Blockheads were inspired by the Katzenjammer Kids, who were always getting into scrapes and causing discomfort to others.

Other characters are Gumby's dog Nopey whose entire vocabulary is the word " nope ", and Prickle, a yellow dinosaur who sometimes styles himself as a detective with pipe and deerstalker hat like Sherlock Holmes.

Also featured are Goo, a flying blue mermaid who spits blue goo balls and can change shape at will ; Gumby's mother Gumba and father Gumbo.

The later syndicated series in 1988 added Gumby's sister Minga and mastodon friend Denali.
